StartButtonImage Double-Click

[Neil Welligan]

Hi,

Is there an event that is exposed that can be used to capture the user double-clicking on the StartButtonImage on the RibbonBar?

I would like for my application to close when the image is double-clicked.

Thanks,

neil

Hi Neil Welligan,

Thank you for writing.

Indeed, you can close the form upon a double click event on the start button. You have to access the ActionButtonElement and then subscribe to its double click event:

ActionButtonElement startButton = radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.Children[2].Children[1].Children[1] as ActionButtonElement;
startButton.DoubleClick += new EventHandler(startButton_DoubleClick);

In the event handler the Close() method of the form should be invoked:

private void startButton_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.Close();
}

If you need additional assistance, do not hesitate to contact us.

All the best,

Thanks for your reply.

Ideally I would appreciate the StartButton to be accessible as a property on the RibbonBar, but your solution works as requested.

Thank you for your time.

Hello, this apparently doesn't work with Q1 2009 version of RabRibbonBar. Can you please provide us with updated solution. Thx

Hi Daniel,

Please consider using the following code snippet in Q1 2009:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.ApplicationButtonElement.ActionButton.DoubleClick += new EventHandler(ActionButton_DoubleClick);
}

void ActionButton_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show("I was double-clicked");
}

If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.

Hello,

 

We are working with Q3 2009 SP1 RadRibbonBar and we try to use this code but it seems that doesn't work.
Can you please  provide us with updated solution ?
Thank you for your time.

Hello Olivier Galloy,

Due to numerous clients' requests we changed the click behavior of our RadControls/RadElements and now they behave just like the standard Microsoft controls - when you click twice on a button you get two Click events fired instead of one Click and one DoubleClick.

However, you can easily get a DoubleClick behavior. Just measure the time span between the clicks and if it is smaller than the system DoubleClickTime, execute your custom action:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    this.radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.ApplicationButtonElement.ActionButton.Click += new EventHandler(ActionButton_Click);
}

DateTime startClick = DateTime.MinValue;

void ActionButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    DateTime currentTime = DateTime.Now;
    TimeSpan span = currentTime - startClick;
    if (span.TotalMilliseconds < SystemInformation.DoubleClickTime)
    {
        this.Close();
    }
    startClick = currentTime;
}

If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.

how can i do the same but whit MouseEnter event and change the Image icon of the StartButtonImage on the RibbonBar?

[Nikolay]

Hello Angel,

If I understand your question correctly, you should subscribe to the MouseEnter and MouseLeave events of the ActionButton and change the Image of the ApplicationButtonElement in the event handlers:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        this.radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.ApplicationButtonElement.ActionButton.MouseEnter += new EventHandler(ActionButton_MouseEnter);
        this.radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.ApplicationButtonElement.ActionButton.MouseLeave += new EventHandler(ActionButton_MouseLeave);
    }

    void ActionButton_MouseLeave(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        this.radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.ApplicationButtonElement.Image = WindowsFormsApplication6.Properties.Resources.Image1;
    }

    void ActionButton_MouseEnter(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        this.radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.ApplicationButtonElement.Image = WindowsFormsApplication6.Properties.Resources.Image2;
    }
}

I hope this helps.Kind regards,

Hello,

this code isn't working for the 2013.2.612.40 version.

Can you post a working sample?

Marco

[Nikolay]

Hello Marco,

Could you please let me know which code snippet is of interest to you?

The snippets that I provided on July 27, 2012 and Feb 12, 2010 work with the latest version and the code snippet from Feb 12, 2010 covers the functionality of the snippets given on Apr 2, 2009 and Feb 15, 2008.

I am looking forward to your reply.

Hi Nikolay,

thanks for you reply.

I didn't know how to access the StartButton. I tried this code but it doesn't work

ActionButtonElement startButton = radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.Children[2].Children[1].Children[1] as ActionButtonElement;
startButton.DoubleClick += new EventHandler(startButton_DoubleClick);

In the meantime I have tried the following code and it works for me...

this.radRibbonBar.RibbonBarElement.ApplicationButtonElement.MouseDown += StartButton_MouseDown;

Regards,
Marco
